While the price of silver continues to languish, an excellent contrarian signal has emerged.
After silver's recent foray into correction territory, the metal remains there after bouncing back only slightly.
Meanwhile, silver futures positions held are rapidly approaching levels that in the past have marked the start of strong rallies higher.
